No Gravity Games Is Giving Away 11 Free Switch Games This Month (North America)

No Gravity Games?
What is that?
Defying Gravity (WICKED) ? 🤭

Done these in the past. They're generally not worth the time to download.

@RupeeClock Maybe I sound like a conspiracy theorist, but that's just about the only game from this publisher that people bought. If that doesn't count for you to get the rest of the games, then people will just have to sell their data to the devil (by signing up for the news letter) or spend money on one of their games.

In other words, there's no such thing as a free game. Or at least no such thing as a good free game.

@Solomon_Rambling Indeed... the game has not been listed since the beginning of November this year.

(According to : Deku Deals)

First game mentioned is a whopping 3/10 from NL. Yea, no thanks. Very little time as it is to game, can't be bogged down with typical giveaway shovelware. Unless of course someone can convince me they have some banger titles in their catalog?

I'm far to busy watching this hot pocket spinning in the microwave to download these games. Maybe next year 🙂

I'd rather have the lump of coal.

My backlog is saying, "Don't you dare!" And also, "Stop it with Balatro already!"

Thanks, I hate it.

It's the same 11 games every year with 8/11 being shovelware.

I've gotten a few legitimately cool games from their past giveaways. Destropolis is definitely my favorite, but there are maybe five others I liked enough to finish and a couple more I'd still like to get back to. Though my microSD is weeping at the thought of cramming in more games after I already hit the cap with last week's sales and had to trim some fat off my library.

@RupeeClock nothing about it on Delisted Games, so perhaps a temporary timeout. On a side note, though, looking it up on the aforesaid website just led me to belatedly find that Espgaluda and Dodonpachi Resurrection just followed Mushihimesama into Switch bullethell afterlife last week, with the publisher breaking the news a literal month prior (as seems to be an industry-wide diagnosis lately🙄). And to dare another tangential pinch of salt, how many "Switch 2 rumours/leaks" have we seen here on NL over the past month instead of a word or two about those? Oh well, they did report Nascar stuff the other day.

EDIT: I've wishlisted Dodonpachi on Steam instead, but Espgaluda 2 appears to have been a Switch exclusive this gen (not counting mobile platforms, at least). And its first English release at that? Guess I'll have some use for Yuzu on Deck, after all...😏😆

@Zealv2 you hear that, Nintendo? People value coal over games around the winter holidays, so the Switch successor launch can wait until 2026.

@RupeeClock I remember NL's report on Clear River's physical releases of the whole bunch, but even that one only reiterates the emphasis on Mushihimesama's already covered delisting countdown at the time. In fact, as I double-checked here before writing the previous comment, that summer article was the last time Dodonpachi and Espgaluda were mentioned in the newsposts at all. As for the physicals, Amazon never shipped those to Belarus even long before 2022, and the odds of finding physical bullethells around local retailers are in the same ballpark with porcine aeriality.

I took advantage of this offer last year. If you want some free games go for it but I found the games to be… lacking in quality. This is a “you get what you pay for” kind of situation

Another year hoping Steve Jackson’s Sorcery! makes the list.

I own quite a bunch from last year's Halloween and Christmas giveaways.
They have all been archived, do I need to unarchive at least one of them?

There's one game that was good, but the sequel sucked...
I can't remember the name of it...

I usually do these to put them in the library just in case, but usually these games are terrible.

Looks like I'm going to shovel the EShop's driveway clean...

It's okay, you really don't have to keep mentioning this

It's always the studios that no one cares about or even heard about that does these...and their games are usually just, crap...

Another publisher using these giveaways to push their content to the top of the 'most popular' lists artificially.

@cmlobue off topic but what is your gamer pic of? It reminds me of an old monster in my pocket creature. I rather like it.

Today's game is actually pretty good. As free games go, you can't beat this.

GrOGRE from the very first Final Fantasy on NES.

I kind of like Christmas themed games. Remember Elf Bowling? 😊🧑‍🎄

every year the same @bu##lshRtIt games.

I saw this first game had a 9.3 in user ratings on Metacritic. Turns out that four of the five reviews were the only reviews left by their respective accounts and all five were left within two days of each other. That probably tells you all you need to know about this publisher.

After redeeming free games from publishers, possibly three times previously, I've always ended up regretting it.

I've never liked the free games enough to want their icons to remain on my switch homescreen, play history, and the games will forever clutter your eshop redownload page.

Last year the list failed to be kept up to date...

@Roger_Brazil
I don't remember this one last year ...

This seems to be a new game... and actually the video looks half decent?

@NintendoByNature @KoopaTheGamer @Spider-Kev

Creepy Tale was decent

@Ogbert Ah! Here is the explanation, thanks for that! I was wondering what was the point of the publisher doing this... bad publicity? Hoping collection enthusiasts would buy a game they've missed? .. Yours makes much more sense 😅

A bad game is still bad even at a $0 price tag.

Two of my nieces are getting Switches this holiday season, and this promotion gives me an easy way to fill their brand new switches with non freemium games. Sure, many of them will be disposable garbage, and surely both them and I will not spend more than a minute with some of them, but at the very least the first two seems worth the time of download. A crazy Santa shooter and mockbuster Overcooked, it could be way worse.

If I could go back in time and not do this kind of thing one of the previous years, I would.
My “Redownload” tab in the eshop has a few ….”stains”… that won’t come out. I’m never going to play those games I got for free in there and I wish I could just hide them or get rid of them. This is like that recent article NL just put out about all the stunted games on the shop.
If you like these kinds of games, more power to you! But if you care about having these in your history seemingly ^forever, I’d avoid it.

^ I say forever because with rumors of this eshop rolling over into the next Nintendo gen, I would assume my history will follow right along. I want those games out of my history!!

Even the worst of these games are/is still miles better than cell phone "games!"

@KoopaTheGamer Here's a solid time to drop the fact that Cave Story was free when it first released on PC, and I just played Celeste's Pico-8 demake for free online. Though you're right in that finding a great free game is like a diamond in the rough.

No gravity has a few decent games like Destropolis and Nova 111. Many of them aren’t very good though.

@Chlocean Actually, Celeste originally released on PICO-8, so it's not a demake. But yes, I was exaggerating.

Is the third game for free working for other people? It's not for me. I had to buy the second game unfortunately because I forgot about it yesterday, so did their system screwed up or did they forgot to activate the third game for free?

@KoopaTheGamer Oh wow, I actually did not know about that-I learned about the Pico-8 quite a bit after Celeste released so thanks for the information!

@IceEarthGuard

I had no issues, I got Alders Blood in two separate switches. I couldn't "technically" get it on my very own Switch because I got it a year or two ago in another giveaway.
